When I last visited that country, I saw plenty of beautiful blue skies there alright!

However, it could also be an effect of my new vantage point. When I lived in Tai Po the furthest I could see from my flat was only about 6km away, but know the distance between me and the peak is 8km.

I hear you though about winter vis a vis summer.

Sad to see your observation about the state of the air in Hong Kong... it was former CE Donald Tsang who would blame air pollution on the mainland factories so that he could claim he was helpless about the situation, when in fact as you point out, it is us who are generating a lot of air pollution! Hope that Christine Loh will really get the government's policy together on air Goodbye HK, Hello YVRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220868581581406872noreply@blogger.com
